The D2C is going to be a model of Mario riding on Yoshi, based on the SMW sprite Sounds neat! Now I wonder why they haven‘t done any pixelart sets before

Not a fan of the idea. CMF series should feature a wide range of characters, not just the main cast of a single upcoming movie (the LEGO movies being obvious exceptions). That‘s what the sets are for! I can‘t believe I agree with Turtleman here, but Snyderverse Supes is definitely sad. On multiple levels.

Or who can forget the slide-splitting „I‘m Venom!“ joke that only appears in the trailers Sony make the X-Men movies (post TLS) look cohesive, and that‘s saying something! The torso‘s the same between the boxart and the lifestyle pictures, but the arms are not, which is weird. TLG actively discourages people from swapping arms and it’s not very likely they took these images with anything other than the finalised set, so where did this bare-armed version of AoU Hawkeye come from? Some people think that this is the version actually included in the set and the black-armed one from the boxart and renders is the wrong one, but we will see

That got a good laugh out of me, well done Indeed. They weren’t exactly setting the world on fire, but they did feature desirable minifigs here and there and sometimes had new prints! Too bad they’re not around anymore

My point wasn’t that there isn’t enough discussion in this thread, but rather too much nonsense in the sister thread But you’re right of course, there is less discussion going on compared to previous years for the very reasons you pointed out.

YES. YES. YES.* * translation: I’d buy that in a heartbeat! Unironically a great idea in my book

Kinda ironic considering there was a very early false rumour about an IG mech set (which was obviously based on leaked info from the production of the show itself) Definitely a missed opportunity, but that can still be rectified next year! Thanks for reminding me! People posted quite a few examples of single-coloured dual-moulded pieces in the thread, so it’s definitely a possibility! I hope they either pick that one or the FO Stormie helmet

I like both of the leaked figures! Evil 3PO with his red eyes reminds me of the scene in TROS though, and now I’m sad. 5 years later and still no frikking Babu Frik

There’s a big difference between a movie series and a (wannabe) cinematic universe

Exactly. Fans say all the time of how tired they are of the yearly remakes and the onslaught of Clones, and now people are clamouring for more of that? And no, TLG will not stop making sets based on new content in favour of random CIS ships or Sio Bibble or something 90% of OT and PT sets are remakes, and that’s not likely to change.

Given that Rhino’s appearing in the Kraven film, I guess Sony are still trying to put together the Sinister Six… *sigh* They just can’t help it, can they. I hope they finally give up afterwards, a Spidey cinematic universe without Spidey just doesn’t work (and given the general quality of these films, it still wouldn’t even if Spidey was actually around. You simply can’t build a functioning fully-fledged cinematic universe around ONE character )

Cool minifig! That likely means the SC set comes out in August, rather than October or so. Hope the set includes all main characters!

I’m not saying the minifig selection would be worthless without Bill and Charlie, but this is THE opportunity to get them and a set of this size should include at least one new character or significant variant Fingers crossed! And nice to have Errol confirmed. I suppose it’ll be a new print then!

Yes. We are more than 25 pages behind the DC thread despite having at least 4 times as many sets Bring on the aslume! 60 pages of unrealistic wishlists, top 50 set & movie lists, insane hot takes, Venom horse jokes, off-topics detours, and comments lamenting the state of the thread (), let’s gooooooo

Watch the trailer and all shall be revealed If the aslume is Sony’s HQ, then yes. Given that the minifigs are not that special, I doubt it’ll be significantly cheaper, compared to sets with more impressive minifig rosters

How is The Acolyte allegedly breaking canon? Because of what Ki-Adi Mundi says in TPM? Well, there are multiple ways this can easily be resolved. Either the characters who learn about the Sith's existence all die, they believe it's not a Sith (but instead a wannabe or a Knight of Ren or whatever), or they just cover it up, paving the way for the Jedi to ultimately lose their way. How about we wait for the show to air before making baseless accusations? This is "OmG tHeY rEtCoNnEd ReBeLs By KiLliNg ThE gRaNd InQuIsItOr" all over again. And about non-fans working on the show: Tony Gilroy, who made Andor, admitted he was not a fan of SW prior to working on Rogue One

Paying extra for that license simply wouldn‘t be worth it. What else besides Venom and a few (uninspired) side characters could they do? Riot? And then what, other SSCU characters? Kraven? Morbius?! Madame Web?!?? Way more sensible to just stick with comic Venom for the time being and wait for the MCU version

10 minifigs sounds reasonable and the other rumoured info fits with the prelim! Not sure about the “everything’s printed” claim though. The 2020 set had a looooooot of stickers, and this version is bound to include even more details and references, so this sounds a bit fishy Isn’t this the same source who claimed that the ceiling in the GH would feature some stickers? If so, seems like the source is credible, except when it comes to stickers and prints

If we deleted all the off-topic nonsense, this thread would have less than 20 pages

The release dates weren‘t swapped though, at least from what we know. Publicly, The Acolyte never had any release date other than the one we know (i.e., next week), but of course it’s possible TLG was originally told the series would arrive later in the year, hence no sets yet

Still in the process of building the sets, and I noticed we just got the very first minifig with the new sienna skintone, namely Padma! I wonder if the other new skintone introduced earlier this year (umber) will also show up in a minifig soon

Sol and Mae definitely, followed by the dark side character with that sick slasher smile helmet! I assume it‘s the Sith apprentice rather than the master, but we‘ll see. Jecki and Kelnacca are other good candidates, followed by Torbin and Yord. Vernestra Rwoh has potential too, since she‘s appaered in a lot of previous THR material and she has a pretty distinctive lightsaber design (IYKYK)! Still curious why we don‘t get a set immediately. If Skeleton Crew can, so can this show Or maybe that‘s a good thing, so they have to pay less attention to potential spoilers

Built all 4 sets yesterday, and I quite like them! The highlight is clearly the Batmobile, but the Batcycle is an enjoyable build and the smaller two are decent. Nothing to write home about, but we already knew that

I built that set too today and thought the same thing! …at first, but then realised the helmet is dual-moulded and they‘d have to use white for both portions for it to work Have they ever done a one-colour version of a dual-moulded piece before?

That set is still a top contender for „best set name of all times“
